Reading more than 256 bytes from os.urandom() is different than reading 256 bytes or less. For example, see getrandom() and getentropy() manual pages for more details. random.Random doesn't need a very high quality entropy. The glib library only reads 128 bits from /dev/urandom to initialize the Mersenne Twister RNG for example. |
